The move to software control of things puts Toyota and other Japanese manufactures on a level playing field with everyone else -- no one can seem to produce bug free software. Of course, it becomes a much more acute problems when lives are

Linus didn't write it. He's certainly modified it but it was written by others. For example the eval.c header sez: * written 1986 by Daniel Lawrence * modified by Petri Kutvonen I'm sure someone else knows more about it's histor

Any AI in use won't look like AI. When it becomes useful it gets decomposed into controllable components and then used. But it is used in many places.

Part of how C++ is successful is that it retains C compatibility, and C accurately models how the computer actually works (at least computers of the 70s and 80s, which is all we know how to program well). Lovely languages like lisp, pyt

Agreed. I avoid merging (potentially extensive) outside changes/commits into my modified local files. It always seemed like a risky and unwise procedure in CVS and Perforce. I think Git's alternative of stash, pull, pop is an improvement.

That sounds like bad git courtesy. There's papering over mistakes and then there's hiding the entire history of a big change...

> I like seeing my mistakes and reasons for doing things. I suppose the point of Linus' rant is: would you want other people to see your mistakes? (goes without saying you would want them to see your reasons for doing things.)

Some sort of reverse workplace discrimination? Its certainly a red flag of some sort.

Heavy handed, sure... maybe even micromanaging, but not an unreasonable idea.

Diabetes: do you have type 1 or type 2? Dietary (coupled with lifestyle) changes can produce lower inflammation and better blood sugar control. These two things attained early and often enough are enough to help avoid obesity, type 2 diabe

It sounds like the Hacker Diet is pushing for the magic here. Do extra calories you eat magically become fat? If not, then how do they become fat? If you exercise to burn fat, what's to stop you from becoming cripplingly exhausted rathe

If you're talking about the title, I'll agree it's a tad sensationalistic. If it's your view that the statement has wider meaning, I'd say turn it on its head: consider nutrition to be the first and best application of medicine. If you had

They contradict where the Hacker's Diet makes no attempt to differentiate between types of calories. For the Hacker Diet, all calories count against your total the same way. There's no concept of calories that throw off your blood sugar an

I think the point is the hormone regulation is exceedingly complex and attempts to circumvent it either won't work or will have unintended consequences. The body can regulate itself if you let it.

Obesity is at record levels in Japan. To have the Okinawan (or Japanese) diet work for you, you'll not only have to follow it closely you'll also need to live the traditional Japanese lifestyle.

Atkins isn't the runaway success because its a particular variety of low carb diet. Its also very restrictive, primarily during the "induction" phase. If you want to see other low carb diets that may be more manageable, try South Beach or

Cool system. As someone else pointed out, the station select map should have some sort of "you are here" indication showing which station you're at. I suppose one (potentially minor) ongoing expense with this setup would be that every kios

#8 is a variant of the Buddhist notion of keeping a "beginner mind". Perhaps another approach is savoring your humility. Oddly, its the only idea where the more seriously you take it the less you believe it. Or something...

I would suggest taking a closer look at those links. They bring up another point in that you'll only find current, usable, robust support for SIMD in C++: The first link is just a paper; the second is a 1.0 release that is seven years old,

> C programmers have more freedom to arrange data in memory to exploit locality I think just about everyone here is underestimating the impact of this one "feature". Most optimization approaches are grounded in 1970s computer hardware,
